I ordered takeout from here and I tried the Shrimp Lover Mofongo Bowl, which comes with two types of shrimp, white rice, yellow rice, and mofongo and it did not disappoint. The mofongo was incredibly soft and flavorful; I honestly couldn't stop eating it. I also tried the birria tacos. The hot sauce was great, but the dipping sauce could use a bit more flavor. That said, I'll definitely be back for the mofongo dishes. It was that memorable I'm still thinking about it! read more

Super great food Nice people with great food Just SO AMAZINGLY GOOD and awesome !!!!!!!! read more

Tasty lunch to go! My boss ordered for me when he picked up his pulled pork rice bowl (which he loved!) but since my adobo chicken mofongo took a bit longer, I walked back over to pick it up. The friendly lady there, Rosa, was kind enough to hold for me so my boss could come back and get to work. The mofongo was delicious! This hidden gem might become my go to lunch spot! read more

We stopped in because we were in the mood for some Puerto Rican food. To enter the restaurant you must go down the set of stairs. Proceed to the counter where you can place your order and you can seat yourself as your food is then brought to you. I ordered the beef empanada and the relleno de papa. Both of them were good. For our meal I had the carne frita with mofongo and my girlfriend had the pastelón. Both were very good and flavorful. read more

empanada tasted like play dough bowls were otherwise not bad, I think there's a yale student discount. read more

Monfongo is authentic Peruvian food and has a variety of options. Highly recommended!

The shrimp mofongo was to DIE FOR! Can't wait to come back and try the other foods, like the Puerto Rican finger foods.

This restaurant is definitely open; it sounds like the previous reviewer was afraid of going downstairs. It's in the basement space where Anna Liffey's used to be, and they're short staffed so you might not see someone at the counter immediately, but I've never seen the restaurant empty. There's plenty of seating, even for groups, though it feels like most of their business must be takeout. I like their mofongo a lot, especially the pernil bowl, though I've never had their rice bowls - I haven't found a reason to deviate from my favorites! The meat and toppings are delicious, and the mofongo itself is really tasty. The prices feel steep for lunch, but the portions are generous enough that it's always at least two meals worth of food for me, so it actually works out well. And for the immediate area, they're honestly not outside the norm price-wise. Even with these caveats, I'd recommend them for anyone craving tasty Puerto Rican fusion food! read more

The food is good but the service is inconsistent and unreliable when ordering through Uber Eats. When they run out of things they give you the wrong thing or cancel the order at the time it was estimated to arrive via uber eats read more

A friend recommended I try MofonGo in New Haven, and boy, was it good! If you're gonna do mofongo, go big, so I went with "The Overload", half Spanish rice and half mofongo topped with Adobo chicken, salsa, and chimichurri sauce...oh and a papa rellenos on the side (mashed potatoes filled with ground beef). Soo yummy! The portion was a good amount, I could not eat it all. Bonus: leftovers for dinner! Also, this place is in the old Anna Liffey's basement!!! Brings back memories! It's small and quiet inside. More of a grab and go or grab and sit and eat type place. read more

Was lured in by the music at doorway, and surprisingly found this cute spot tucked downstairs. The lady taking orders acknowledged us immediately and let us know she'd be with us shortly. We ordered the yellow rice and pernil (shredded pork) with Chimichurri which was good. The pork and rice were flavorful but the rice was a bit mushier than my liking. The yellow rice and Chicharron de Pollo (Crispy Fried Chicken), was good but pretty standard. The empeñada was really good it was flakey and crisp on the outside but the meat was full of flavor and tender inside. Everything was fairly priced, and portions were large. read more

When I first stopped I wasn't sure how it would be. The food speaks for itself, sublime Puerto Rican dishes. I have eaten here a few times since discovering it a couple months back. Absolutely a recommend for everyone to try. read more

Love this little spot. When you walk by the actual restaurant you're greeted with a deep stairway down into the place and it's so fun. The walls have cute art on them too and the inside of the establishment is very cool. Kinda industrial. Service was tricky because we both did not speak the same language but that did not matter, the workers were very kind and patient. My friend got their empanadas. They were fresh and crispy and pretty good. Me and my other friend got the same thing, the fried pork rice bowl. It was amazing. The flavors all came together and the portion size was extremely generous. Fun lil spot! read more

I went there for lunch and with an appetite. I ordered the rice bowl with pernil (pork shoulder) and it came loaded with your choice of rice (I chose yellow), beans and I added the 3 maduros (fried plantains) for $1 extra. The chimichurri sauce, pico de gallo tomato and onion mix, and mayoketchu (mayonnaise and ketchup mix) was all added on top and you can also choose to add it on the side. My plate cost me about $15 and it was well worth it! The meat was tender and soft, and the rice... it was so moist and delicious! I can't stand being served dry rice anywhere and I was so happy that this was delicious. The addition of the sauces added layers of flavor. I couldn't even finish it all. Oh, and don't let me forget to mention that the woman who served us brought us a sample of the mofongo on the side, on the house. A hit of mofongo, rice, beans and pernil all on one fork will send you to cloud 9 for sure. I will definitely be coming back here and would recommend it to anybody! read more

Great service and food! Traveled to all locations! Would highly recommend all locations.

When I went is was the second week after opening. My wife and I tried the trifongo. Let me tell you after trying trying the trifongo you will never want a regular mofongo. The sweet plain tins make the meal 10 times better. The portion was great and the price was reasonable. Definitely plan on going back. It's great to see a Puerto Rican restaurant have a new spin on traditional food. read more

Can't wait to come back, one of the best quick meals i've ever had! Pork with rice was great, beef patty was great, guess i need to actually try the mofongo next time. read more

Cheap, Delicious, a hidden gem! It's easy to miss but a great find for anyone looking for quality Mofongo. read more

It's a small restaurant that serves amazing Puerto Rican food! The restaurant is underground, which is unique. It has a core serving stations where you order, and then you can seat yourself at a table. There's about 6 tables, relatively small. Service was great! read more

Amazing food! So happy to have an authentic Puerto Rican spot in New Haven! It's beautiful inside! Went during the soft opening, can't wait to see it at its full potential. My personal preference is I wish the canoes had shredded cheese instead of thick mozzarella but that's just me. I try and stay away from dairy but it still went down! Everything is delicious! Portions were HUGE! read more

Yum!! Last minute decision to grab some empanadas while we were out for a stroll as the sign outside said 2 for $5. We had one of each and they were super flavorful and we really liked the dough. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised at the quality and taste having had these from other place. This is definitely top notch, especially for these prices. Will have to try their other food next time, but we're so glad we tried out the empanadas first. A definite easy Sunday rotation on our walks. read more

They dont have a number where u can call in and place an order. I had to go on uber eats and place my order so i wont have to wait forever. They can give u more mofongo being the price is $16 after taxes..customer service isnt bad but the chef is inconsistent..taste different every time i go, food is decent but a bit overpriced in my opinion. read more

i visited MofonGo this past weekend with my father, with the intentions of enjoying some delicious food. And that we did! We both ordered a mofongo, one with shrimp & one with chicken. Both had amazing flavor and left us wanting more. We're originally from Puerto Rico, so naturally we have high standards when trying traditional dishes. MofonGo did not disappoint one bit. The staff was very friendly and easy going, they made sure we felt comfortable and had everything we needed (sauces, silverware, napkins, drinks). Everything was very clean and well kept. I can't wait to return, and to share the experience with all my loved ones. 5/5 Stars. read more

So happy this is finally here in New Haven! The food is amazing and the adobo chicken rice bowl is just what I was looking for!!

Wildly exceeded my expectations service was great..they were patient with us and with answering our questions. The music was fun and perfect for the environment. The food of course was the best part...SO MUCH FLAVOR!!! Definitely going back read more

So excited to have a New Haven location - we always made it a point to stop in Hartford whenever we were in the area. Food is as delicious as ever (you can't go wrong with the Overload, you get to try some of basically everything on the menu) and the staff was so friendly and helpful. I'll look forward to going back, and often! read more

Speedy and friendly service plus incredible flavor! What is could be desired?! A go-to for our family!

This was an amazing find. Home made food was absolutely delicious. Such a cool vibe in the restaurant. Friendly staff as well. I will definitely be back! I will also tell friends and family about this place. read more

Was all excited about visiting this so called authentic Puerto Rican restaurant. Ordered the bbq chicken rice bowl. The rice was DAYS old and the chicken also was old. It was fried chicken with Bbq sauce. HORRIBLE. My wife had the overload. Once again DAYS old rice, steak and fried pork. Nothing on her plate was warm/hot. Cold food. We chose to dine in and we had to wait 15 minutes for the cold food to arrive. Service was average. Ambiance was awesome. This restaurant is new in this area but not in Connecticut. There is no excuse for serving old food. Total unacceptable. I give a 1 star because the ambiance was awesome. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! read more

Go eat here! Portions are huge and food is INCREDIBLE. I had it up at Parkville market and was so excited when they opened a location in New Haven. read more

this restaurant was only open for a month or so so most of the items on the menu weren't available yet. however the order i did get was a pork chop w yellow rice and beans. the chop was not brownly cooked and had no seasoning and there was no sauce to the bean and the rice was edible. suffice to say, they need more help in the front end (waited too long just to place an order, only for them to complete telephone and delivery orders prior to making my plate of food. no shade as a PR'n i didn't get the flavors of Puerto Rico. read more
